What you need to know before traveling to Phuket

From the very active nightlife of Patong Beach to the more private island adventures that can be found if you make them your own there are all manner of things to do on Phuket for the average tourist. Phuket tourism is big business and continues to be the biggest business on this deceptively conservative island. The numerous beautiful beaches remain the greatest of Phuket attractions for many visitors though the nightlife is quickly catching up. Others find that their favorite Phuket sights are those of moonlight reflecting in the beautiful waters or the sun rising or setting over those same waters.
